Can I claim my "babies" as dependents on my taxes, hypothetically?
Yes, however, if you or your partner menstruates, it's manslaughter.
Is it only the eggs that count as babies or sperm as well?
If they do then I may be one of the biggest mass murderers in history
I think the ruling covers embryos, so a fertilized egg.
Either on their own are zygotes, so don't count as citizens or whatever the fuck is going on in Alabama.
A zygote is a fertilized egg from fertilization until it splits enough. The egg and sperm cells are gametes.
I haven’t done much killing in the last 10 years or so, but when I was a teenager I slaughtered millions multiple times a day and stuffed them into small sacks and buried them in the trash. My drive to kill has slowed down significantly.
My mom thought the washing machine was eating those little sacks.
I don't know, there's a lot of competition out there if you're right. You've got around 4 billion competitors.
Fertilized eggs, in any stage of development or form.
If you can find a way to oppress women with the rebate, you'll have their support.
Up next: Alabama now arguing they should have 4,000 electoral votes.
Memes are great and all, but we need to not spread misinformation. It's fertilized eggs specifically that have been called children. Reproductive rights are important, but any time shit gets misconstrued, it's a chance to be attacked by the right.
Do you live under a rock? The right is going to attack no matter what whether the arguments are correct or not. They don't care about substance, they only care about aesthetics.
"A chance" lmao. Welcome to politics 2024.
Do you mean to tell me the egg section of the local Alabama supermarket is not, in fact, an orphanage?
Fucking misinformation gets me every time.
I am not getting it. It's there any visual aids?
You can get aids in your eyes?
I saw it on the inter-web so it must be true.
Doesn't really matter because I can see what direction they're going. This started off being about abortion of a fetus with Roe being overturned. Now we're talking about embryos and fertilization. The egg and sperm are only one more step away.
The act of creating that embryo could be the next thing they put into law. I could see the religious extremists wanting sex outside of marriage to be illegal. That sounds crazy to me, but again, that's what direction this argument is going.
Masturbation will soon be genocide
Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted, god gets quite irate!
From one of the best Monty Python sketches ever, IMHO (but sadly not quite the cultural reference as things like the dead parrot one)
Yeah I get that. I'm gay. They talk about making "sodomy" illegal again. But any time that people take things to extremes that are not true it hurts the people making the correct arguments.
I completely understand wanting to keep the discussion based in logical facts. It can be difficult to do when the other side is always arguing in bad faith. On the flip side, inaccuracies help drive discussions on social media and it got us talking with each other.
Every single one of those eggs was the loving product of a cock and a chick.
Ehhhh no? You don’t need a rooster for chickens to lay eggs, AFAIK.
You need a rooster to fertilize the egg. An egg without a rooster is just chicken menstruation.
*ovulation
Releasing of an egg is ovulation. Menstruation is shedding of the lining of the uterus in mammals when pregnancy has not occurred.
It's a little pet peeve of mine when people refer to eggs as "chicken periods." I get a similar itch when people refer to anything in the crotch area of a female as a vagina lol.
I know you live in Indiana. There are chicken farms near you. They shred 99.9999% of the males because they aren't needed for egg production. The roosters are only needed to fertilize the next generation of chickens, which roughly 50% of them will be immediately killed at birth.
Edit: ok you're trolling. I was wondering, cause normally you're more educated than that take is.
I wasn't trolling, I was joking. Cock and a chick? Terms for penis and woman?
There are some fertilized chicken eggs on the market, but most factory farmed are not. This note is for all the folks that didn't get a proper biology teacher.
The GOP would never agree to the parallel because the brown ones cost more.
Nah. Most conservatives I know are in support of the for profit prison system. They need eggs of all colors to grow up poor, uneducated and limited choice but to commit crimes.
They probably only cost more because that money goes to Big Egg while they get minimum yolk.
The brown ones cost more to raise due to their inherent behavior and lack of rooster figure.
"Behold, a chicken!"

What I don’t understand is; do all girls/women receive child payments from birth to ~60
If they have a period are they liable for murder?
I guess I'll go eat some scrambled children (by Alabama's definition)
